SPRING CLEANING:
When the heating season is over make sure that you clean out all of the fuel in the hopper, firebox area,
ash pan and firepot area corn can accumulate moisture over the summer months causing the unit to rust
and the fuel to mold.
It is recommended that prior to shutting down the unit in the spring, run the unit on the higher settings for
a day to help clean out the heat exchanger system, venting system and firebox area.
When the unit is cleaned out, take the venting apart, clean out the fly-ash, rinse the venting out with a
water hose and let dry, take the draft blower off and clean, clean out all areas such as back heat exchanger
and lubricate the auger, auger tube, firepot area, fuel stirrer shaft and bearings and hopper area with a light
oil. (Something like Pam cooking oil works great to coat the inside of the unit and the moving parts.
Clean the glass, doors and outer cabinet so that you are ready for the next heating season.

AUTOMATIC SAFETY FEATURES
WARNING
These automatic safety features must not be bypassed.
9 Power Outage
During a power outage, the stove will shut down safely. It will not automatically restart when the
power returns, unless the exhaust is still up to temperature (see “Lighting Instructions” page 21).
9 Overheating
A high temperature switch will automatically shut down the stove if it overheats. The stove will need
to be manually re-lit. Allow 45 minutes before re-lighting.
9 Auger Cut-Off (3500P & 3500L ONLY)
When the back hopper lid is opened the fuel auger stops. It will resume operation when the lid is
closed. The hopper lids must be kept closed for proper operation. If the lid is left open the fire will
go out. If fuel gets lodged in the back hinge area of the hopper, when you close the lid, the switch
might not work. Always make sure that the sealing surface is clear of fuel before closing the lid.
